RSS tag filter

biggles · 2013-05-01 11:58:49

Hi folks,

How do I discover what the RSS feed is for any story marked with a particular tag. If for example, I have a tag called ‘me’, how do I find the RSS feed for only stories on my blog with that tag?

(At the moment, I’m using technorati tags, something I’m planning on changing soon. I guess I just need to make tags plain hash whatever (ie #whatever) or just text?)

Does Textpattern have the equivalent of the Wordpress “http://ttwexample.wordpress.com/tag/teachtheweb/feed” as a feed URL?

Many thanks!

Filtering by keywords is not supported. You can only filter the built in feeds using sections and categories, by using section and category HTTP query params.

Hi Gocom,

Thanks for the swift response. The particular stories I mentioned do have a section (my blog) and more importantly a category.

How could I supply someone a feed URL for a particular category?

Thanks.

Hi
you can use <txp:link_feed_link flavor="rss" label="your label" category="your_category" />

All in the textbook

Jukka, I’m surprised that you didn’t mention rah_external_output :)
Because thanks to your plugin, yes, it’s possible :

Basis:

Install rah_external_output
Create a new form and name it rah_eo_tagfeed.
For example (this is an RDF feed) paste, fill in the blanks and tune:

; Content-type: text/xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<txp:php>global $variable; $variable['tag'] = gps('tag');</txp:php>
<rss version="2.0" xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/" xmlns:content="http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/content/" xmlns:atom="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom">
 <channel>
  <generator>http://textpattern.com/</generator>
  <title><txp:site_name /></title>
  <description> ... </description>
  <link><txp:site_url /></link>
  <atom:link href="<txp:site_url />?rah_external_output=tagfeed&amp;tag=<txp:variable name="tag" />" rel="self" type="application/rss+xml" />
  <pubDate><txp:php>echo safe_strftime('rfc822');</txp:php></pubDate>
  <txp:article_custom limit="100" break="">
  <txp:if_keywords keywords='<txp:variable name="tag" />'>
    <txp:variable name="item_content" value='<![CDATA[<txp:body />]]>' />
    <item>
      <title><txp:title no_widow="0" /></title>
      <link><txp:permlink /></link>
      <guid><txp:permlink /></guid>
      <pubDate><txp:posted format="rfc822" /></pubDate>
      <description><txp:variable name="item_content" /></description>
      <content:encoded><txp:variable name="item_content" /></content:encoded>
      <dc:creator><txp:author /></dc:creator>
    </item>
  </txp:if_keywords>
  </txp:article_custom>
 </channel>
</rss>

The feed’s URL is http://www.example.com/?rah_external_output=tagfeed&tag=thetag

Refinement:

Add this rule to your .htaccess:

	RewriteRule ^tag\/(.*)\/feed$ /?rah_external_output=tagfeed&tag=$1 [R=301,L]

The feed’s URL is now: http://www.example.com/tag/thetag/feed

Hi Yiannis and Claire,

Many thanks for your help – I will try your suggestions and report back!

biggles · 2013-05-08 13:30:03

Hi Yiannis,

I tried your suggestion (I want to try a simple solution before trying Claire’s idea) and it unfortunately it failed. However, it’s probably because I’m doing it wrong! I created a tag called mylabel with this code:-

<txp:link_feed_link flavor="rss" label="mylabel" category="my-label" />

And I put it in my blog post, based on an Article category I created called My Label (which gets converted to my-label for the HTML).

It generated this feed code:-

http://www.mysite.com/index.php?rss=1&amp;area=link&amp;category=my-label

but this gives me “The feed being requested cannot be found.” in Google Reader and the title of this feed is (title unknown).

What am I doing wrong? I just want to be able to send a feed to someone that will only see articles with the tag mylabel.

Thanks!

Hm, is it because of link_feed_link instead of feed_link?

biggles · 2013-05-09 11:19:29

Hi Uli,

You’re right! I changed it to:-

<txp:feed_link flavor="rss" label="mylabel" category="my-label" />

It works perfectly now!

Many thanks for the advice and your swift response!

Oops that was my bad. Apologies.

Hi Yiannis,

You’re forgiven!!
